Resolved by DJ Sures!
Hello;
STILL waiting for my robot. They tell me now it won't ship until the week of the 22nd. To quote Charlie Brown ... AUUUUUUGH! stress
Anyway, I was just going through the AR Drone video concerning controlling it via ARC. At least I have one of those. I was trying to do that via a desktop PC instead of a laptop as shown in the tutorial, and I was not able to see the Drone AP under my list of devices under the Network listing. I do have a home network with a wireless router, but I'm pretty sure that does not function as a pickup device for other wireless devices that are in server mode, as is the Drone. Is there some sort of other device I must have attached to the PC to see wireless access points? This sort of thing seems to be built into laptops, and of course, tablets and smart phones (which I usually use to control the drone). I'm assuming that is why all the videos show someone using a laptop as opposed to a desktop. Nonetheless, I would like to use a desktop to do it as I intend to do some experimenting with that mode when JD finally arrives and using the Drone in the meantime would be good experience. Not to mention relieving some of my angst over the extended wait for the little mechanical critter. Thanks

At the top (I think it is at the top, if not it's at the bottom near the save button) of the page in a drop down list you pick the person who you believe helped you the most... then replay again to the thread... say thanks for your help or whatever you want to say... Hit reply and the person who you chose that helped you will get the credit for the help... the thread will be closed after that...
@Richard R I see, thank you.
I received an email saying I needed to close this thread, so I am. Thanks very much to everyone who responded. Still no real resolution but I'm working with Linksys to see if anything can be done. Tried a Belkin unit as well, with exactely the same results. Maybe my computer is just too old, who knows. Looks more and more like I'll just need to get a laptop and move on. Thanks again. (JD should be shipping this week ... Yaaayyyy!
